I made myself a dress! And I'm very excited. Using the fabulous "Miss Marlo Dress" pattern from
Pip Lincolne's book "Sew La Tea Do" I turned this floral vintage sheet from the local Brotherhood of St Lawrence into something wearable! The dress is very very simple, but you have to start somewhere, and I'm happy with the futher step I've taken towards making more clothes for my own wardobe.
What sewing have you been up to recently?

ReplyDeleteWell done Mez, the dress looks great....nice finding the sheet at the oppy too.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to start off with an easy project and get it right and build on those skills.

Hey, the photo's not that dodgy! Dress is great. I have made dresses, but years ago, when I had my lovely friend Lorraine to help, inspire and motivate me.Also, Yanny and I didn't do too badly making halternecks before travelling overseas in the late 70s!!!!! But methinks I'll stick with the knitting for now. xo
